A judge on Friday heard arguments on a state coalition’s bid for a restraining order to pause the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger, and said she would issue a ruling by next Wednesday. Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin suggested at one point that Paramount had conceded that it will not suffer harm if a temporary restraining order is granted, which would put the merger on hold for up to 28 days. Led by California, 12 states are seeking to block the merger on the grounds that it will harm competition in the theatrical and basic cable markets. Paramount’s lead attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, argued that the states had failed to make the necessary case that the deal is anticompetitive. He argued that the success of recent releases like “F1,” from Apple, and “Project Hail Mary,” from Amazon MGM Studios, shows that the theatrical business is open to new entrants. “In this industry,

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is easily the best-reviewed movie of the year so far — but it’s also creating a major headache for movie-goers trying to secure a spot at one of the few IMAX 70mm screenings. If you get a chance to see the movie this weekend — or bought your tickets up to a year in advance — listen to this week’s episode of IndieWire’s “Screen Talk” podcast. Joined by IndieWire Craft Editor Sarah Shachat, co-hosts Anne Thompson and Ryan Lattanzio dive into what Nolan gets right and wrong about Homer’s epic poem, and why, but also… who cares when you’re in the face of such extraordinary filmmaking? Nolan is here to tell a new story about the decline of civilization, even if his Odysseus is sanded down, stripped of the brutality as seen in the epic poem, and here reconfigured as more of a

Lena Headey gave a wide-ranging interview with The Telegraph and opened up about her experiences in Hollywood with nudity and predatory men. The “Game of Thrones” Emmy nominee accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment in 2017, claiming he made suggestive comments to her at the Venice Film Festival when they were promoting “The Brothers Grimm.” Years later, Weinstein allegedly invited Headey to his hotel to show her a script. “We walked to the lift, and the energy shifted,” Headey once said of the encounter. “My whole body went into high alert. The lift was going up, and I said to Harvey, ‘I’m not interested in anything other than work, please don’t think I got in here with you for any other reason, nothing is going to happen.’ I don’t know what possessed me to speak out at that moment, only that I had such a strong sense of ‘don’t come near me.

At the Costa Rica Media Market (Crmm) to announce the launch of the Latin American offshoot of genre initiative WomanInFan, Sitges Film Festival director general Monica Garcia sat with Morbido CEO Pablo Guisa and Mexican director Luis Javier Henaine (“Disappear Completely”) to discuss the state of genre filmmaking in Latin America and the surge of women directors in the field, despite the obstacles. Speaking to Variety before the panel, Garcia revealed that the number of female genre directors participating at Sitges since WomanInFan launched six years ago, has jumped from 6% to some 30%., encouraging news for the new WomanInFan LatAm program. But the field of genre filmmaking remains tough for women. Showing the audience a trailer for a documentary she directed, which offered a snapshot of some women who had ventured into the field, the consensus was not altogether rosy. “The common denominator in all of their statements is the difficulties,
